Many people do not forget the young man of clear eyes interpreting the popular Casique in the soap opera ” Cosita rica “, role that made it break with the expectations of famous writers of novels, the directors and scriptwriters of renown of the great screen; persons who trusted in his talent and who now see it as a star of the action performance. Maybe nobody imagined the success that provided the destiny to Edgar Ramirez, who with steps silences but enlarged it has managed to show what really is: an artist indeed truth; now there is walked like any famous international other one by the streets of Hollywood, hobnobbing among the best actors of the national and international cinema.

Diploma in Social Communication, with a specialization in Communication Policy, said Ramirez was to grow and study in different countries, a fact that helped him cope and have a fluidity to speak languages such as English, French, German and Italian. Despite his youth, his performance as an actor has been extensive and successful; took its first steps into the film and claims to be the middle where he feels most comfortable.

His U.S. debut was called “Choco” in “Domino”, then came performances at international film productions as “The Don”, “Punto y Raya”, “La Hora Cero”, “El Nudo”, “Yotama se va volando” and recently was in “The Bourne Ultimatum” and “Vantage Point” (Justo en la Mira), a film in which our country has received very good acceptance, which broke box office record outside our border at its release date; parallel to this , And produced feature film starring the Venezuelan / Spanish based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac French where she gave birth to own Cyrano Fernandez.

Accompanied by this fate, it seems-that-has not only stopped for a moment, and recently thanks to her good work, so surprising Edgar was nominated as best actor in the eleventh edition of the Festival of Malaga, made in Spain; getting the prize and the audience award in the entry for Best Actor in the Latin American section Territory, recognition, he has been very important and unexpected.

“What most caught my attention was so touching that it is this love story based on the classic Cyrano de Bergerac of Mouse Rospley and what was done with Cyrano Fernandez, was an adaptation to the reality of a neighborhood caraqueña of the original work French;
go as far with this production and get awards out of my country, a fact that is always grateful. To my Cyrano de Bergerac, has been one of the most beautiful love stories ever written and able to carry this love story to a reality as intense as a quarter caraqueña, made a combination of the plot quite interesting, really has been a great privilege and a very great pleasure to interpret a character so deeply romantic as Cyrano Fernandez, was something I needed to play in the film, “says Edgar about his role.

Exactly what happened, the neighborhood of San Miguel Cota 905 in Caracas was the place conducive to give life to this film, where young and old, were pleased to open the doors of their houses to offer, if you like, a little lodging and comfort to a cast who worked hard for more than eight weeks of filming. “I had the opportunity to get in touch with the reality of a neighborhood where Venezuelan did” The Don “, and that friction had to be there and share, the difference was that I lived here for almost three months with a community and become the son of that community, for me it was something spectacular, a very pleasant experience and moving, “said Ramirez.

Certainly there are comparisons between the two roles, this has to do with the dynamics of history because it is a version of Cyrano de Bergerac, where there is an intense love triangle; Cyrano Fernandez as well as Cyrano de Bergerac is a man who feels ugly, feels undesirable, it is not a man to love and act that is not worthy of him, which decided to dump all their energy and all his capacity to love your community, ie decides to become a sort of defender of his people, his neighborhood, that more than compensate for all the level of frustration that it produces not able to perform as a man next to the woman he loves.

Cyrano Fernandez, is nothing more than a highly contradictory character, with great gallantry and simultaneously with a huge inability of not being able to tell the woman you love, who loves the course directly related to the original character but Cyrano Fernandez, responds to the needs of where they live and that’s what makes it different is a character perhaps darkest, most depressing that the original character and much more measured in words he says. It is necessary to always be clear that one actor is no cinema, theatre or television, you’re an actor and point.

I see a very good way and even more so when not spend three months or longer and you see another Venezuelan film in theaters, and that says a lot, I feel you’re living a very interesting moment, is a film that speaks what really is Venezuelan and there is nothing better than you talk about, namely to allow for industry must have market and to allow for market and there must be public so that there can be public, we must make good films. It has been an enormous privilege for me and a great opportunity to collaborate with Venezuelan production of film and always with the goal of placing Venezuela on the world cinema map.

I am almost sure that we get through Cyrano, many Venezuelan realities, indisputably that cinema is an ideal way to reduce the stereotypes to reduce levels of anxiety and unrest prevailing living the country.I think that cinema is the most effective means to combat violence, is an art and art elevates the spirit, stimulates the imagination, inspire and calm.

Certainly led me to conclude it was in close we are all about feelings, those who attacked us all equally, anything that affects us, regardless of social conditions around us; have the capacity to love and be loved , To protect and be protected is priceless.

At times I stop to think about all the people in the neighborhood, quality human affection, humility, so admirable to be with us whole days and nights working, because I congratulate behaved like great artists and producers were for me also the film, a very nice experience, which completely filled my expectations.

The first thing that comes to mind is coffee, also has much to do with me, because I identify, I do not know very much enjoy sitting down to talk and take a cup of coffee, I have no doubt that I am a person completely passionate with things that inspire me and the things I like.

You know that gives me a lot of laughter because, always thought that the realization of my makeup lasted 45 minutes and it turns out that the day after the premiere went to eat arepas and our production assistant tells me: Edgar looks I read that you said that the makeup lasts 45 minutes and let me tell you that the makeup lasts two hours, what happens is that you fell asleep and did not realize you (laughs).

(Laughter) I lack everything, I imagine a young person and even though thank God I have achieved many things in my career, I also lack much to learn and be done, I think I expected a long road yet. Now after the premiere of the film Cyrano Fernandez

began its journey in international festivals, I remain with the chain of short AXN carrying stimulate Latin American cinema both as a production level of performance, and same for this year’s fall premieres Argentine film alongside protagonicé Benicio del Toro, about the life of Che Guevara and when you know what they’ll do know, I am a little cautious with my future projects.

Obviously the commitment to art is the same, to try to bring the best stories to people.

More closely ..Born in Caracas, Venezuela, a March 25, said to be anything extravagant, likes to go to the movies, drink coffee and talk. It is not quite going to discotheques, but if frequents bars. Travelling and know new places, sports and sleep. His biggest weakness … is being very impatient
